The purpose of this article is to prohibit the
spilling, dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater to
the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4) operated by the Township
of Burlington so as to protect public health, safety and welfare and
to prescribe penalties for the failure to comply.

For the purpose of this article, the following
terms, phrases, words and their derivations shall have the meanings
stated herein unless their use in the text of this article clearly
demonstrates a different meaning. When not inconsistent with the context,
words used in the present tense include the future, words used in
the plural number include the singular number, and words used in the
singular number include the plural number. The word "shall" is always
mandatory and not merely directory.

A conveyance or system of conveyances (including roads with
drainage systems, municipal streets, catch basins, curbs, gutters,
ditches, man-made channels, or storm drains) that is owned or operated
by the Township of Burlington or other public body and is designed
and used for collecting and conveying stormwater.

Water resulting from precipitation (including rain and snow)
that runs off the land's surface, is transmitted to the subsurface,
is captured by separate storm sewers or other sewerage or drainage
facilities, or is conveyed by snow removal equipment.

The spilling, dumping or disposal of materials
other than stormwater to the municipal separate storm sewer system
operated by the Township of Burlington is prohibited. The spilling,
dumping or disposal of materials other than stormwater in such a manner
as to cause the discharge of pollutants to the municipal separate
storm sewer system is also prohibited.

Recovered materials are to be returned to storage for reuse or properly
discarded. Rinsing of equipment, as noted in the above situation,
is limited to exterior, undercarriage and exposed parts and does not
apply to the engines or other exposed machinery.

Any person(s) who continues to be in violation of the provisions of this article, after being duly notified, shall be subject to the maximum penalty in Chapter 1, Article II, Definitions; General Penalty.
